Dont Take Your Love To Town

N.C. Drums Part 1 A A You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair. Em D G A A Ruby, are you contemplating, going out somewhere? Em A A The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down. Em D G D/F# Em D D Oh, Ruby, don't take your love to town. Part 2 Em D D It wasn't me that started that old crazy Asian war, Em G A A but I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore. Em A A And, yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be. Em D G D/F# Em D D Oh, Ruby, I still need some company. Part 3 D G A A It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed. Em D G A A And the wants and the needs of a woman your age, Ruby, I realized. Em A A But it won't be long I've heard them say until I'm not around. Em D G D/F# Em D D Oh, Ruby, don't take your love to town. Part 4 D She's leaving now 'cause I just heard the slamming of the door A the way I know I've heard it slam 100 times before. Em A A And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground. Em D G D/F# Em D D Oh, Ruby, don't take your love to town. Em D G D/F# Em Oh, Ruby, for God's sake, just turn around. N.C.
